fischertechnik is a flexible and innovative construction system built around the unique fischertechnik building block, which allows attachment at all six sides. fischertechnik's system of interlocking building blocks, motors, sensors, lights, computer controllers, and software allow you to build countless fun and functional models, from Ferris Wheels and Construction Cranes to robots you can program and control. Designed with an engineering mindset, the creative possibilities with fischertechnik are limitless!
Fundamentals of Engineering and Construction: The ideal technology construction set for all future mechanical engineers. The areas of dynamics, statics, gears, structure, and bracing are all addressed as students learn by building models that illustrate the principles behind these concepts. This set will help students to answer questions such as:
How does a gear box work?
What is a planetary gear?
How is the movement of a windshield wiper produced?
Measurement, control, regulation, and programming for middle/high school and beyond. Acts as the core set for all fischertechnik robotic add-on products.
Main topics Robotics and programming (graphical and text-based), actuators, analog and digital sensors, measurement, control, data transmission, coding-decoding, image processing
Includes downloadable teaching and activity material (free download)
Set included a Robotics TXT 4.0 Controller, Robo Pro Coding Software, Accu Set, 2 Encoder Motors, USB Camera, Ultrasonic Sensor, Track Sensor, 2 Push Button Switches, 2 LEDs, and a Photo-transistor
How can you generate electricity in an environmentally friendly way? How does a fuel cell work, and how can it be used to generate hydrogen? Renewable energies are the most important energy sources of the future. The generation, storage and use of electricity from the natural energy sources of water, wind and sun are clearly explained using nine models and 28 experiments.
Main topics extraction, storage and use of electric power / energy sources such as water, wind, sun and hydrogen
Includes downloadable teaching and activity material (free download)
Components include a solar motor (2VDC), 2 solar modules (1VDC, 400mA), a goldcap energy storage device, an LED, a fuel cell, a voltage converter, and a multimeter
